Arg!!! rust!!!!

[eyekode]

Got a surprise today. I worked in my shop/garage last night and all was well. Came home from work and a thin layer of rust was all over my TS . Took me about an hour and a half to clean it all up.

Time for some paste wax or T9.

Yup, I use paste wax. Would have been fine but I didn't think about it and my kids left the garage door open.

Leave a $9.95 box fan blowing over your tools 24/7 too.

Links to the pictures doesn't seem to be working.

Living in Florida, humidity can get the best of the tools. But I use T9 followed by a paste wax (carnauba) and never have a problem. If you are not already doing this, I'd recommend it on anything and everything metal around the shop.

That is no fun

Unheated / unconditioned shops take more discipline - me preaching to the choir. And kids are unpredictable factors, but precious.

That's why, as warm as it was yesterday, I turned up heat in shop. Went in this morning, and it was a toasty 69 degrees. Much too hot to do any work in winter clothing. Had to come out of the sweatshirt, and long sleeve shirt.

Good call . I do this too when I remember!
